Chen Mu's luck has always been very good.

Compared with how to get the county government, the governor's office of the five armies, and the military department to give him an actual official position comparable to his military exploits, it is an easy task to fight bloodily on the battlefield.

From the small flag to the general flag, Bai Yuanjie worked hard. As Bai Yuanjie said, Chen Xiaoqi just slept in Anyuan Station for a winter, and after hibernation, he made the general flag smoothly.

This time, Zhang Yongshou mentioned that the three of them relied on the military exploits of the thieves to take the three most important official positions in the Qingcheng Thousand Households, and took over the official positions of the hundreds of households under their jurisdiction, and Chen Mu became a thug who sweats less in peacetime and sheds more blood in wartime.

Reap the benefits.

The dialogue between Zhang Yongshou and Bai Yuanjie seems to Chen Mu to be a bit of a doorway, at least Bai Yuanjie mentioned that Zhang Yongshou's family opened a mine in Qingyuan, a copper mine.

But there are some things he still doesn't understand, why Zhang Yongshou only took a small amount of peace, but he wanted to hand over Sancheng copper ore to thousands of households in Qingcheng, and he readily agreed.

If you don't understand, you have to ask, and it doesn't hurt to know more about things.

On the third day under the mountain of the garrison room, Chen Mu took the opportunity to lead the troops to patrol and return, and expressed his doubts to Bai Yuanjie, but Bai Yuanjie couldn't stop laughing.

"Do you think Zhang Yongshou just wants to be appeased? Nothing like that. Bai Yuanjie waved his hand, poured two bowls of water, and then said after the smile subsided: "What he wants is part of the military exploits of you and me in the future, the old Zhang family has two big mines in Qingyuan, one is gold and the other is copper, although the copper mine is large, it can only burn tens of thousands of catties of copper soil a year." ”

"Thirty percent, fall into the center for cannon use, full of calculations, two thousand catties of cannon copper."

Chen Mu blinked, although the copper mine is relatively large?

That is to say, there are a lot of gold mines in the Zhang family!

In Chen Junye's opinion, no mine can compare to a gold mine! Isn't that a mountain of gold and silver?

"Qingyuan not only has copper mines, but also gold mines?"

"Hmph, except for the silver mine, Qingyuan has nothing?" Bai Yuanjie drank saliva and put down the bowl heavily, "There are four mines in Qingcheng alone, the Iron Mountain you have been to, the copper mountain of the Zhang family, the coal mountain of thousands of households in the past, and a small jade mountain. ”

However, as he spoke, the pride in Bai Yuanjie's tone weakened, "Although there are many mines, there are no craftsmen, they are all filtered water and burned soil, I heard that some local government mines are burned with water and fire, digging mountains and taking stones, and the profit can be ten times that of Qingcheng!" ”

The burning and explosion method, Chen Mu seemed to have a vague impression, but he didn't understand the principle, he had only heard of it in general. Besides, he's not interested in this matter, the mine, isn't the mine blown up with explosives?

Crack the earth and open the mountain, only I am the gunpowder general!

What interests Chen Mu the most is that Chen Junye rubbed his hands and revealed a full face of mercenary, "That, Qianhu, you, what kind of mountain do you have?" ”

The ancestors have all been commanders, and the Bai family is still later than the Zhang family, does the family also have any gold and silver mountains?

Chen Mu didn't have any idea of inquiry, he was just curious.

"I don't have a mountain at home, what do I want a mountain to do?" Bai Yuanjie looked very surprised, "It's better to train soldiers and kill thieves than they work hard to dig mountains, and besides, I'll just ask them." ”

I'll just ask them for it.

Just ask them for it.

Yes, that's it.

It's so domineering!

But it's good to be domineering!

Chen Mu was about to rub his hands even harder, raised his head and clenched his fists separately and said: "Qianhu, the iron armor and iron knife of the banner army are nearly scrapped, and the iron ore is too valuable to buy. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools! ”

Bai Yuanjie rolled his eyes, "As the saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!" It's also a few thousand catties, you won't use it if you give you iron, iron is different from iron, if you want to hit birds, you have to use Fujian's wool iron, and you dare to use the guns made of Qingyuan pig iron? ”

"You really want iron, easy. The iron mountain of the miners is still empty, go dig it yourself, dig as much as you want - that's all later, don't get into the eyes of money all day long, plant the land and train the soldiers well, you look at General Qi's soldiers, there will be no shortage of silver. ”

Take this group of banner soldiers who have eaten the last meal but not the next meal, and dare to eat two meals of military rations a day when they are in a hurry, wear off the armor of iron filings and the spears that are about to rot, and compare with the Qi family's army, isn't this a hooligan!

It's not less, that's General Qi has Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun has Zhang Juzheng's full support, what do you Qingyuanwei have?

There's a chicken!

Chen Mu pursed his lips, of course he didn't dare to say this to Bai Yuanjie, in the end, he got some benefits, said hello to Bai Yuanjie, and went back to the military tent to sleep contentedly.

Qingcheng Tieshan's private opening rights, Bai Yuanjie let go, and the mine in the future will be his Chen family. No matter how low the taste of Qingcheng Tie is, it doesn't matter, he has people!

To put it bluntly, it's just that it can't be too hard, it needs to be flexible and elastic to ensure that there are fewer explosions.

He Chen Junye is full of wisdom and has nowhere to go, so he will get the hydraulic forging hammer out when he goes back in a hurry!

However, there is a premise for this, he must really be like Bai Yuanjie and Zhang Yongshou discussed, and become the deputy Qianhu of Shangqing City. Otherwise, if you get him to be the head of Guangzhou Mansion as a general manager, you will have no place to cry.

At least in Chen Mu's opinion, Deng Zilong, the general manager of Guangdong, is really not as comfortable as his Qingcheng general banner. Don't look at Deng Zilong's leadership of almost ten times as many troops as his, the supply of military uniforms and even the rationing of gunpowder are above the banner army, but the general battalion soldiers have no ability to restrain except for combat drills, they are ordinary officers.

The flag army is different.

The guard officer is not only an officer, but also holds the civil power of the guard, and in his hands is the body and soul of the flag army of the guard, so that people can't go to the forest to sit and eat while squatting by the stream to eat, whipping this generation, even if they die, the next generation still has to work for the guard.

In order to ensure production and service, and to fill their own pockets, the guard officer must let the banner army find a delicate balance between not having enough to eat and starving to death, and under this balance, a delicate stability is formed.

At the cost of delaying progress, the Central Plains Dynasty sought stability, especially in the collapsing Wei system.

Even when the guards were oppressed to such an extent, there were still only deserters and no mutiny.

Thanks to Chen Junye's expectation of a good mood for at least 100 households in his official position after the war, the banner army relaxed at the foot of the mountain for a few days, but it was only a few days.

Because five days later, after Chen Mu and Bai Yuanjie discussed, it was estimated that Yu Dayou, the chief military officer, had led a large army across Xinjiang, and with General Yu's military strategy, he would definitely not lose to a rogue like Li Yayuan, who was the king of the land.

In the eyes of Chen Mu and Bai Yuanjie, this means that there will be a small but endless number of rebel stragglers bravely passing through Muroshan.

The banner army even prepared the ropes that tied people, and it seemed that everything was ready, but Chen Mu found that he only guessed the beginning correctly, not the end.

The rout army is coming, and there are groups of people, with leaders and standard-bearers, queues and armor, and they are bound by the people on their own mountain roads to kill them head-on!
